Question

CP Stern-Gerlach Experiment. In a Stern-Gerlach experiment, the deflecting force on the atom is \(F_{z}=-\mu_{z}\left(d B_{z} / d z\right)\), where \(\mu_{z}\) is given by Eq. (41.40) and \(d B_{z} / d z\) is the magnetic-field gradient. In a particular experiment the magnetic-field region is long; assume the magnetic-field gradient is constant in this region. beam of silver atoms enters the magnetic field with a speed of . What value of \(d B_{z} / d z\) is required to give a separation of between the two spin components as they exit the field? (Note: The magnetic dipole moment of silver is the same as that for hydrogen, since its valence electron is in an state.)
